Quirks:

Fully CLA'd by our Florida repair tech Tim. The rubberized focusing grip on the lens has loosened slightly with age and can occasionally rotate independently from the focusing mechanism when handled. This does not affect the actual focusing performance, accuracy, or operation of the lens, but may be noticeable in the feel of the lens while focusing. Purely a tactile cosmetic issue that does not impact image quality or functionality.
